A+

As textbooks go, I found this one very readable - not as dense as most. It was a required text for my ed psych class. It's clear and easy to follow as an introduction to the different theories of developmental psychology.

Great overview

I am a Ph.D. in education, and I will say that if you want a great overview for introductory students, this is a great text. It's also not as expensive as some of the Human Growth and Development texts out there.
